WILMETTE LIFE, FRIDAY, MAY 16, 1924 C. C. HOSMER DIRECTS ARCHITE~ EXHIBIT Clare C. Hosmer, of 1232 Forest avenut', \Vilmette, and a member of the American Institute of Architects, is di m:tor of the Chicago Architectural Exh·hition leaJ:'Ue, an organization whose JlJ24 Year Book has just been published. T his league, according to its published q atement , is a corporation whose purpose it is to take over the functions of a joint committee of architects which hitherto has given the annual Architectural exhibition. Hereafter this exhibition will be in the hands of the Exhibii ion league. The league believes that a permanent body can plan its program. for a number o f years and with the accumulated experience and good will can produce exhibitions that will reflect credit on the profession. This year's is the 37th annual exhibition and will be on display for the entire month of May in the east gallaries of the Chicago Art In stitute. The aforemention~(!. y~:a r ?ook is a catalogue of the exh1b1t. Th1s book is a sumptuou ,olume of severa l hundred pages filled with remarkably attractive pictures of residences, many of them on the north shore. public an~ c~mmercia l buildings, and finally ecclesJastrcal and educational structures, including the new Ridge schoo l in Wilmette. ,\mong the architects, pictures of \\ hl·.>e producti~ns appear prominently in the b?Ok, are George W . Maher, mere mentron of whose name is almost ~ ufficient,. because virtually every north shore resJdent knE>ws of his arti stic work in Kenilworth especia lly. His othe; architect~ral acl'liev cments might also be descnbed more in detail did not lack ~f space fo~bid. His latest undertaking JS the plannmg of the Woman's Library club building in Glencoe.

Just as the indind ual business man should not perm it himself to have a selfish viewpoint rega rd.ng his place and purpose in the vi!lage. . o also the Rotary club, Dr. Magill t:mphas'ized, must assume. an active interest in all forward-looking movemcnt if it is to meet its great orvortunity and discharge its paramount duty in the community. Dr. Magill referred to the Com tnw1ity Chest plan, now b ing spon ored by \Vilmette Rotary, as an example o i the character of enterprise that should claim the attention of the club. President Dan G. Stiles announced at \Vednesday's luncheon the receipt of word from headquarters of the 40th District of Rotary International to the effect that Wilmette headed the list of clubs in the matter of attendance with a perfect record in March and a 99 percent record in April. .
